"Welcome at Camp Half Blood, Adriana. Your new home.", he explained and I looked around with those curious eyes.
I knew curiosity could get me in trouble but by the deities I was a halfblood so I really was always in trouble!
A horseman (DAMN!) came to us and I really wanted to leave immediately!
"Apollo. So this is your girl?", the man asked with a friendly smile to me.
Dad nodded and turned back to me.
"Dria meet Chiron. Chiron, this is my daughter Adriana Matthews.", he introduced us to each other and patted my head again.
He should stop it. I really didn´t like this!
"Nice to meet you.", I whispered shyly and hid myself behind my father.
"Nice to meet you too, Adriana. You just came by time. It´s nearly time for dinner. Will you stay here a little, Apollo?", Chiron told first me but asked then Dad.
"No. With you around her, she will be as safe as possible.", Dad grinned and was vanished!
Sometimes I really hated him!
I really did!
"Don´t be scared, kid. Your brothers will take care of you until you have settled in.", he told me with soft voice and took me to a big house, where loud voices came from.
But when we came in everybody became quiet and stared at us...
Why?
"A girl? An other Aphrodite?", I heard somebody whisper and looked to a pink table.
So no!
Never!
I rolled my eyes but kept my face down.
When they would really see my eyes they would know where I belonged.
"Heros! This is Adriana Matthews, daughter of Apollo.", Chiron explained loud and by the time he said Dad´s name his sign appeared above me.
He said something more but the Camper became to loud that even I couldn´t understand him.
I was standing right beside him...
"Dad never had a daughter!", a boy said who looked a few years older than I was.
"Will, don´t be stupid! Of course he had! But the last known daughter was 500 years ago.", a girl with blond hair said from an other table.
If I should guess, it would be the Athena table.
"Right. I am the first daughter since 500 years. If anybody has a problem, just come here and we will end it.", I said with a innocent smile.
I wouldn´t stand against anyone of them but they didn´t know this, so...
"I like her.", came from a table red like blood.
Ares...
A girl looked at me with a scary grin.
"Maybe I´ll come up to this later.", she laughed and I smiled thin.
Not if I could find an other way.
"May I?", I asked Chiron silently and he nodded.
When I came to the Apollo-table my halfbrothers looked at me like I was some kind of alien...
Not nice at all!
"Look, I am human. I am your sister. Learn to handle it!", I said with sharp voice and sighed silently.
Why did Dad brought me here?
This was such a bad idea...
"Sorry. We aren´t used to have a girl around us...", the boy said, who has been this sure about me not being his sister.
"Well, I am not used to have brothers. So be careful what you eat. Maybe it´s poisoned!", I snarled at him and the whole table became pale.
"Are you serious?" "No, I am just kidding. Dad would be pretty mad if I kill any of you. Except it´s by accident, I think...", I thought out loud and my brothers looked at me really freaked out.
I chuckled and patted the hand of my brother in front of me.
"Don´t worry. I am a really kind person. Normally.", I promised and laughed about his scared face.
"I think, it will be fun with her around.", the boy next to me said giggling and I smiled at him.
"Will.", the boy in front of me introduced himself.
The boy next to me was called Micha.
Well maybe my brothers wouldn´t be that bad...
Maybe we would get along just fine.
If they wouldn´t steel my belongings.
"Probably you two can show me around here? Because I had no time before to have a look around.", I asked friendly smiling and both of them started laughing.
"We can, baby sister.", Will answered and I chuckled.
"Will you?" "Yeah, probably we will." he smiled in the same way Dad always did and I rolled my eyes.
"Come on guys, I really don´t want to poison you, but if you annoy me to much I think Dad would forgive me.", I said with sweet voice and both of them laughed.
Micha disarranged my hair with his hands and I glared at him.
"Seriously? I think I need to poison one of you!", I growled and turned away from them.
"Don´t be mad with me, baby sis.", Micha asked me apologetically.
"Why not? It´s really easy to be!"
Will laughed about the sad look Micha had on his face and I sighed beaten.
"Are you ready then? Really want to see the Camp.", I explained and both of them chuckled.
Yeah, I was way to soft...
When they were finished with eating I was waiting for them with impatience but I was really trying not to show it.
"Dad wants to test us.", Will sighed and Micha nodded amused.
"Ready?", I only asked and walked out the room.
"Wait! Adriana!", Micha called after me and I turned around smiling.
"You are way to slow, brother.", I laughed and both brothers mumbled something I didn´t understood.
"Come on now!", I chuckled and took Micha´s hand.
I pulled him after me and Will just laughed.
"Would you please let me go?" Micha asked desperately and I looked at him amused.
"Sure."
I did it but I did it while we still were running so he fell on his nose and I had something to laugh about.
Exactly Will laughed as well and even a few other camper who saw it laughed so it wasn´t only me.
"Don´t!", I warned Micha when he had this look...
That was dangerous if somebody had this look!
I run like being tracked by Hades himself although it was only my brother with a devil grin!
"Micha! Don´t! I swear you will regret it!", I shouted while running across everything I could bring between us.
I even hid behind other camper.
Two boys laughed about us and I had a really bitchy idea.
I hid behind them and when Micha was near enough I gave them a little push so that the three boys laid on the ground and I stood over them with a big grin.
"Sorry, but I think the three of you have to check your sense of balance.", I chuckled and all three looked at me quite surprised.
"Do I want to know why the Stoll twins lay on our brother?" Will asked sighing and I looked as innocent as I could at him.
"Don´t have an idea.", I told him shyly and gave him a warm smile.
I hold out a hand for the boys to help them coming to their feet again.
The two boys took my hand with a big grin and I noticed that they really looked alike.
"Asking how to call my victims?", I asked chuckling and the twin brothers gave me grins.
"Travis Stoll, nice to meet you, I think.", the first brother introduced himself and I was a little embarrassed about using them as weapon against my brother.
"The unbelievable Connor Stoll always at your service." the second brother told me with a deep bow making me chuckle.
Those guys seemed to be funny.
"Sons of Hermes. Eldest in the house. Tricks and steals are always their business. Dad and Hermes are friends but they are annoying like hell." Will explained and I looked puzzled.
"They can´t be this bad. They protected me against Micha." I hold against it.
"Sure you aren´t a Hermes daughter?" Micha asked quietly and I looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Be careful, brother. Dad wouldn´t be pleased if you handle me bad." I nearly sung and the twins chuckled.
"This girl is cool." Travis laughed and Connor nodded in agreement.
Those twins would make this Camp interesting for sure but hopefully they wouldn´t play to much tricks on me...
They maybe would regret it.
The sunlight tickled my nose and I chuckled.
"Stop it, Dad!" I whispered amused and smiled a little.
Could he please stop teasing me?
I wasn´t alone and talking with the sun was weird!
"Oh no...", Will sighed and looked at me with a really desperate shine in his eyes.
"What?" "Dad treasures you this much? I will go and tie me a rope... Won´t survive this...", he mumbled grumpy and I really was confused.
What was this about?
Sure Dad cared about me.
Why shouldn´t he?
"Why?" I asked not understanding a thing at all.
"Dad is teasing you without being here at all. He brought you here, right? He left when you were safe." "Yeah, where is the problem? He is my father of course he wants me to be safe!" I answered a little angry and crossed my arms over my chest.
Will should be very careful what he would say next.
I wouldn´t let him talk bad about Dad!
"Will..." Micha warned him carefully but Will wasn´t listening to our brother.
Connor and Travis exchanged a worried look but kept quiet.
"Yes he is but just ask around! Dad never took us till Chiron! If he ever had been the one taking us here! You are Daddys sugar girl.", he growled jealousy and I shook my head.
"I am not! Sure I am a girl. Maybe even Dad´s girl but I am not his favorite!" I shouted angry and Micha, Connor and Travis stepped back a little bit.
"Will, stop it! Please!" Micha asked him again to back down but I really didn´t think he ever would.
"You aren´t? Well then you maybe can explain why he brought you here himself! Why he even protected you!" "Stop it, Will. Don´t want to have a fight with you." "Answer!"
I shook my head again and stepped back.
A fight on my first day? Wasn´t high ranked on my list...
"Look, Will, I really don´t want to fight. All men become more protective with girls. Even deities can´t stand against it. So I have no other explanation for you. Just let it go." I told him with a thin voice.
"Sure! And Hades rules the Olymp!" "By the sun! Let it go!" I shouted really angry and clenched my fists.
"Will, it´s enough! Dad will be very angry." Micha said but Will really was wanting this fight.
"Yeah, cause his little baby girl probably starts crying." he said with really toxic voice.
"You are rude, Will. What if we tell it Chiron?" Travis challenged him and Will sneered at him.
"He won´t believe you." he took a guess.
"Now I really know again why I loved being a single child. Give me a break!" I said sadly and went away.
I really was done for today...
Travis and Connor came after me while Micha was having a talk with Will.
"You don´t even know where to go, do you?" Travis asked joyfully and I looked at him with sad eyes.
"No, I don´t. Would you?" "Sure. But don´t tell anybody that we helped you. They would become sick." Connor chuckled and I smiled lightly.
"So you two really are this bad?" "Point of view. I think we aren´t. Our brothers don´t. But everybody else think we are." Travis explained with a big grin on his face.
"Well then I have to make my own opinion, mh?" "Sure. We will try not to do our worst." laughed Connor again and the twins both shook their heads.
"Why do I feel like interrupting something interesting?" a male voice asked and I looked amazed into eyes with the color of the sea.
"Hey, Percy. Don´t worry, it´s just a little trip across the Camp, you know. She needed a little sight seeing." Connor explained chuckling and I really was amazed.
This was Percy Jackson? Damn!
"With you two? Sure that you don´t mean she should keep cave for you?" the blond girl from the dinner said.
"Anny would you please not give them ideas!", Percy sighed and the twins grinned even brighter.
"upss.. I am sorry." she said embarrassed and I chuckled.
"Give them ideas as much as you want but if I am included they have to forget it." I gave back with a smile.
"Percy Jackson,son of Poseidon, nice to meet you." introduced the son of the sea himself.
"Adriana Matthews, daughter of Apollo, nice to meet you too." I said shyly and smiled a little self-conscious.
"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." the girl named herself as well and I smiled at her insecure.
"After knowing who is who maybe we can walk further?" Travis asked rolling his eyes and I laughed about him.
I wouldn´t be bored for sure.
They showed me the whole Camp and I got to know that Annabeth was very very very possessive about Percy but he only had eyes for her and no one else even if they weren´t a love couple they would be soon for sure.
"Look, I really don´t want your boy, got it?" I asked Annabeth in a quiet minute while the boys talked about a trick the twins played on the Ares house.
"You sure? You really act like adoring him." she told me briskly and I couldn´t help but laugh.
"Never mind." I chuckled and waved it aside when the boys looked at us in confusion.
"Of course I respect him. Everybody does! Even the deities! But, Annabeth, I don´t adore him. Sure I admire him but don´t adore him. Don´t worry. He is all yours.", I explained smiling.
Annabeth looked at me in surprise before she started smiling like I made her the best present ever.
Well, I love seeing others smile and when she is happy I was pretty sure Percy would be as well.
We closed up to the boys again and talked all in all about everything.
They told me about the funniest tricks the twins ever did and about the beginning in the Camp of each of them.
It was really interesting.
When the sun and the moon met for the night they brought me to the Apollo house where Micha was waiting for me.
I thanked the guys with a big smile and bounced into the house.
Micha chuckled and relaxed when he saw me.
"Good to see you. Thought you might have become lost." he said but I only stuck my tongue out at him.
"Even if I was lost now I am here so don´t worry, Micha. I will always find my way home. Even if Dad isn´t watching over me it´s Aunt Artemis." I chuckled and went for my room.
"Wait a sec. Did you just said Aunt Artemis watched over you? She normally never did." "Maybe she wants me to become one of her huntresses." I answered laughing and yawned silently.
"A positive aspect in being a girl, isn´t it?" "Yeah, maybe. Good night, brother." I said softly and he smiled at me.
"Good night, baby sister."
I chuckled and closed the door behind me but then I sat down at the window looking to the moon.
"Don´t be sad, stupid! You aren´t this alone!" I told myself but I felt pretty lonely.
Mum wouldn´t even care...
She maybe even would be happy about me being far away from her...
Silently tears were pouring down my face and I hid it on my legs.
Why did I felt so alone when I had here this damn house full of halfbrothers?
Why was I feeling so bad?
I cried till I fell asleep...
Wasn´t the best start in Camp life I could get...
